Your Thanks: University women's group appreciates support for book sale

As our 2014 AAUW Book Sale is wrapped up, our members would like to thank many people for making this fundraiser a success.

AAUW stands for American Association of University Women. Our mission is all about helping women and girls achieve equality in reaching their potential. The money raised in this book sale will go to help women and girls both locally and nationally.

Many people contributed to our successful book sale. Shelly Birkelo penned a well-written article illustrated with excellent photographs in the Sunday Gazette. Always gracious, Jackie Wood, who manages The Olde Towne Mall, helped us by providing a place to stage our event this year and several years in the past. Hundreds of people in the community patronized our sale, and many of our family members pitched in with the hard work of moving boxes of books.

Thank you all for your support. It was a job well done with all those involved.
